Example skip rate limit middleware?
4
Hello. I'm trying to skip the API rate limits for requests made by an authenticated user with a particular role. The docs mention a "skip" Express middleware function that can be used, but I'm not sure how to get the user from the request object. Is there an example somewhere using the "skip" property?
I couldn't figure this out. I ended up with a somewhat dumb solution passing a secret as a header
rateLimit: {
trustProxy: true,
skip: ({ headers }) => {
return typeof headers['x-api-key'] !== undefined && headers['x-api-key'] === process.env.PAYLOAD_ADMIN_API_KEY;
}
}, 
@ericpugh I believe that the user should be available on the req object in express (as long as payload.authenticate() is called)
skip: (request, response) => { console.log(request.user) return false // no requests skipped by default }Actually, not sure you need
payload.authenticate()before this, but IIRC that tells express to check the session
